Baseball Bloggers Alliance Award Winners

As you'll recall, I made my picks right after the season finished. There were some easy choices, but I made a few controversial choices. I ignored Jim Johnson's 51 saves, and selected Fernando Rodney for top reliever. I picked Justin Verlander and his 17 wins for top pitcher while shunning 20 game winners David Price and Jered Weaver. More egregiously, I ignored Miguel Cabrera's triple crown and selected Mike Trout as player of the year. I had some very good reasons for doing so as outlined in my posts, but I expected to be in the minority. Well, I am very pleasantly surprised to see the rest of my BBA brethren (and sistren!), selected the same award winners that I did. Below are the AL and NL winners of the Alliance, with links to their site where you can see more details on the voting.
